How can you use “cutpoint” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The sensitivity and specificity of PSA, using either a cutpoint of 4 ng/ml or age-specific reference ranges, did not differ significantly between non-Hispanic white and Hispanic men (data not shown).
This cutpoint was determined by standard clinical laboratory comparison methods and verification of the reference interval [ 26 27 28 29 30 ] . The mean HbA 1c for our study population was 7.91, with a range of 4.4-15.
Estimates for sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for different PSA cutpoints, stratified by age range, are reported in Tables 1and 2. Data are presented for men in their 50s and 60s in Table 1, and for men in their 70s and all age groups combined (including men in their 40s and men 80 years and older) in Table 2. For the standard PSA cutpoint of 4 ng/ml, test sensitivity was 86% and specificity was 33%.
With this cutpoint, the likelihood ratio for a positive test was 1.28 (95% CI 1.23 to 1.34) and 0.42 (95% CI 0.36 to 0.50) for a negative test.
Lowering the cutpoint to 2 ng/ml increased the sensitivity to 95% but dropped specificity to 20%.
